“It also comes at a time when we are growing our lettings division with our fourth high street branch due to open in 2019.

“One of the reasons for our success is because we openly look to disrupt the marketplace in which we operate.

“We work with our landlords throughout the whole process and show tenants the same respect and care.

“Professionalism, outstanding customer service and attention to detail underpin all we do at Face2Face.”

Face2Face Estate Agents currently lets and manages hundreds of properties for landlords across Greater Manchester and Yorkshire and has branches in Todmorden, Littleborough and Rochdale.

Mr Swire will travel to London for the EA Masters awards ceremony – which is the UK’s biggest estate agency event – on Friday where he will collect a Best Estate Agent Guide award from top BBC presenter Gabby Logan.

The Best Estate Agent Guide is put together annually after a rigorous and independent whole of market assessment of every UK estate and letting agent by the Property Academy and supported by Rightmove.

Each branch is ranked on how well properties are marketed and perform on Rightmove, how long it takes to let a property and how good the customer service is for a mystery shopper.
